Subject: [PATCH] modversions: treat symbol CRCs as 32 bit quantities on 64 bit archs
The symbol CRCs are emitted as ELF symbols, which allows us to easily
populate the kcrctab sections by relying on the linker to associate
each kcrctab slot with the correct value.
This has two downsides:
- given that the CRCs are treated as pointers, we waste 4 bytes for
each CRC on 64 bit architectures,
- on architectures that support runtime relocation, a relocation entry is
emitted for each CRC value, which may take up 24 bytes of __init space
(on ELF64 systems)
This comes down to a x8 overhead in [uncompressed] kernel size. In addition,
each relocation has to be reverted before the CRC value can be used, which
has resulted in an ugly workaround involving ARCH_RELOCATES_KCRCTAB, and an
even uglier workaround around the workaround involving the "TOC." symbol on
PPC64. This patch gets rid of all of that.
So switch to explicit 32 bit values on 64 bit architectures. This fixes
both issues, given that 32 bit values are not treated as runtime relocatable
quantities on ELF64 systems, even if they ultimately resolve to linker
supplied values. Also note that the only two architectures affected by the
runtime relocation issue are PPC and arm64, both of which rely on the
toolchain's PIE routines to create a runtime relocatable vmlinux. While x86
also implements CONFIG_RELOCATABLE, it relies on its own build tools, which
disregard kcrctab entries explicitly.
So redefine all CRC fields and variables as u32, and redefine the
__CRC_SYMBOL() macro for 64 bit builds to emit the CRC reference using
inline assembler (which is necessary since 64-bit C code cannot use
32-bit types to hold memory addresses, even if they are ultimately
resolved using values that do no exceed 0xffffffff).
Also remove the special handling for PPC64, this should no longer be
required.

I received some feedback on draft versions of this patch from the kbuild
test robot, but none of it regarding the inline asm in this patch.
Hopefully, that means it works on all 64 bit architectures we support,
but I have not been able to test that exhaustively myself.
On an arm64 defconfig build with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, this patch reduces
the CRC footprint by 24 KB for .rodata, and by 217 KB for .init
